Paula Beasty

I have recently returned to the UK after several decades in Sydney, Australia where I studied at the College of Fine Art, National Art School and the Charlie Sheard studio school. I’m thrilled to have joined the Bath Artist Studios, where I have my first professional artist studio. I hope to add to my exhibiting experience, which has to date included group shows and being hung in the Liverpool Art Prize.

I like to work on large canvases in oils, combining renaissance layering techniques with abstract forms and compositions. I am currently exploring ideas of the divided self, the infinite and the unconscious in my work. I’m also investigating ways to integrate figurative elements without losing the essentials of my abstract style.
